Adult Carer Services

We have a range of support for Adult Carers around the county.

Initially, we will have a chat with you to understand your situation and any challenges you are facing, working with you to identify what support you might need so we can direct you to the right support.

We can speak to you in person, online or over the phone – however your feel more comfortable. Either way, we have secure systems and processes in place to keep your data private and confidential.

How can we help?

Action for Family, in partnership with Essex Carers Support, has been commissioned by Essex County Council to deliver support for Adult Carers in West (Epping, Harlow & Uttlesford districts) and Northeast Essex (Colchester & Tendring districts).

We can provide:

  • Information, advice and guidance
  • Practical solutions to address specific challenges.
  • Support for your emotional wellbeing
  • A free counselling service
  • Small grants to enable you to take a break from the pressures of caring.
  • Opportunities to connect with other local carers at Peer Support groups.
